I have to be honest, I wasn't quite sure what she meant, but I started this piece on the 23rd with the intention of cutting lines away from the sticker. The intention was purely to cut out Elenas outline then have radiating lines. However, I got a little carried away and decided to add wings to her with outline and also use the bridge in the background.

I finished this piece on Christmas day, stuffed to the eyeballs with duck, Elena now in possession of a pair of wings and everything.

I'm not sure if I quite done what Keira was suggesting, but I don't mind. It worked out alright.

A year ago today, I was getting ready to get on an airplane to head up first to Boston, and then by car to a mountain in Maine. There was a snow storm coming in and we had to be in Maine by 2 January 2010, my daughter's wedding day. We made it, and it was wonderful.

My daughter got married on skis. It was the wedding she dreamed about since she was a little girl. She skied down the mountain with her dad, met her fiance and guests at the bottom where we had an outdoor ceremony, in the snow. Later we all gathered for a lovely dinner in the ski lodge. It was a small wedding and quite beautiful. My other daughter got married in a big fairytale wedding a few years earlier. And that was quite beautiful, too. I've had the best of both worlds.

As much as I love sending mail, I find sending out birthday and anniversary cards very difficult. Even letters to my family are harder for me to write than to complete strangers. This year I resolve to end that and this card, which is going to Melanie and Nick for their first anniversary, is the first step toward that resolve. I will send a card to recognize every celebration in my family, and I will write to my family, just out-of-the-blue letters.

Boo Cartledge, # 31. Hard to believe we've been doing this for a whole month! Time to switch to New Year's or general cards, but I'm not ready to give up bunnies quite yet. Happy December, y'all, and here's to a healthy new year. xxxooo Boo Sent to Lynette Killam.

Who is Joey?? Asian superstar or ingenue? Sadly, I do not know. I bought a set of Joey postcards and I have no idea who she is, only that she exudes pertness and pluck. The picture of her I used for this card is the only one of her looking subdued so I didn't feel bad about cutting it out of the postcard, which on the whole are so wacky that they stand on their own!

I couldn't get the above lyrics out of my head yesterday, and it's still bouncing around in there.

This is going to Austin James, who sent me this wonderful card when I first joined IUOMA last month. I had sent him this card, confessing that I can't relate to people through music, before receiving his music-related card that actually does relate to my life.

#ers 6,7,8 & 96 and 7 I am particularly happy with. I am a film studies student with a passion for Iranian film and film history. I think almost every piece I have created to date has an element of film in it.
